A detainee was hospitalized following a group fight, that may be gang related according to Oklahoma County Detention Center.
Around 2:45 Tuesday afternoon, the detainee was assaulted by several detainees at the detention center.
The detainee was then separated from the altercation, and brought to the hospital via EMSA.
The other detainees were separated following the incident.
